Dubious tourist slogans

It's been a very fertile week for tourism slogans that have had a less than enthusiastic reception. Rapidly following on from news that Suffolk tourism were considering a plan to use the phrase "The Curious County", which met with ire from local MPs, a suggested "Incrediburgh" slogan for the Scottish capital was lambasted as "appalling". One consolation is that these are by no means the first dubious tourist slogans to have reached the public. Here are a few more. The place: Hong Kong The slogan: Hong Kong: It will take your breath away The criticism: Quite literally true, unfortunately, given there was a SARS outbreak shortly after the slogan aired.
